Buddy3D Camera RTSP stream works on phone but not on laptop or Home Assistant

I set up a Buddy3D Camera on my CoreOne and enabled the rtsp stream in the Conenct app. It works fine in the app. When I test the stream in VLC on my android phone it works without issue but when I try the same stream in VLC on my Ubuntu laptop or through the Home Assistant Generic Camera integration it does not work. Strangely when I try to play it via 'ffplay' on my laptop it works. Any ideas whats going on here?

I figured out the Home Assistance piece of my issue. It appears that the preview window when creating the Generic Camera entity doesn't work but after creating the entity I was able to view the camera feed within HA.
